The movie is about Charlie Wilson. The focus purpose of this thread is about staunch life-long Republican and anti-communist Joanne King Herring of Houston, Texas, who is a major power player in the GOP inner circle. Charlie Wilson would be a blowout out bum in the gutter had it not been for Joanne.
The second purpose of this thread is how several well informed GOP operatives keep this movie from being another anti-war Democrats-Soros Shadow Party hit piece by cutting the D-SSP off at the knees. And, they used a "yellow dog" Democrat attorney, and major power player, Dick Deguerin of Houston, Texas to do it... who is also Tom "still The Hammer" DeLay's attorney. (You can do the math)
Charlie was very honest that the liberal democrats director and producer made him out to be a much better person that he really was, and gave him more credit than he deserved, in the movie. But the flip side is, for a CIA covert operation as high stakes as this one was, Charlie was a perfect candidate. If the deal went bad the FBI investigates and arrests “yellow dog” Democrat Charlie for all his crimes, and he is easy for "the powers" to destroy in the MSM to cover up the “GOP White House didn’t know anything about it” gone bad operation. The CIA specifically looks for guys like Charlie for their dirty work and he was well vetted before they got involved and used him. Is anyone dumb enough to not understand that President Ronald Reagan, and his White House inner cabinet circle, were well briefed and informed on Charlie-Gus & Co.'s activities on a detailed and on-going basis.... and that Reagan & Co. was pulling their strings?
Lookit, Charlie Wilson is dying. So let the man have some brief limelight for participating in a significant historical event, that many Americans and other people around the World don’t know the details.... in which much of the key information is still classified. So what if it includes some of the liberal slant and pumped up BS about the man.
THE bottom line is, like the Nazis, we kicked those Godless Commie bastards ass! Communists....., along with Fascists, Atheists, Socialists, and other ultra liberal and radical POS’s that support the DemoRATs-George Soros Shadow Party, and the Clinton Regime, efforts to destroy our great Country called the United States of America . - FlA
He had a heart transplant about 2 months ago and went to the movie premier. He probably "cut in line" to get a heart that should have gone to a "commoner!"
I can't stand Charlie Wilson--for years!!!!!!
What sez Ollie North is in the middle of Charlie's War??
In case you or anyone else here at Free Republic does not understand, the GOP is the underdog in the 2008 Presidential election and without significant and focused efforts, by all Republicans that care about our great Country, the Democrats will win the election and take control of the Executive and Administrative branch of Federal Government. All serious FR members need to become directly and actively involved in advancing the GOP efforts to win the ’08 Presidential election. This does not include the obvious RINO’s, D-SSP “plants”, and people here only for idle passing-the-time yapping and/or uneducated bashing on this outstanding GOP~Conservative agenda website. – FlA

WOW, I am standing at my computer saluting!!! Must show hubby tonight. I should have presumed Tom was involved when Dick showed up on the scene to beat down the DRats.
Exactly, Charlie was a perfect, classic foil (and in the Congress, where funding is obtained, from the right side of the isle) for covert help to Afghan resistance operation.
Joanne Herring deserves a lot of credit in this “affair”, much more than most understand and appreciate.
Thanks for your posts on this subject. Merry Christmas!
